We are the sons of Adam; We and our Forefathers have a long time been Lost in our sins; but now the mercy of the Lord beginneth to find us out again; therefore the grace of Christ helping us, we do give our selves and our Children, unto God, to be his people. He shall Rule us in all our Affairs; The Lord is our Judge, the Lord is our Law-giver, the Lord is our King; he will save us; and the wisdom which God has taught us in his Book shall guide us.
